Carmina suggested we dine in since we’d never really tried their main courses, always just getting takeout with the cream puffs . Mom Violy agreed, and we arrived about thirty minutes before the lunch rush began. The service was very slow, even though we had ordered ahead of time.

Things to know before your Sydney, Australia trip:


Before I travel somewhere new I would like to find out more about the country in order to adapt myself and know what food is known there while I am in their area and what food I can bring back home with me.

Australia is known for kangaroo and koala more into nature, beach and urban places.

The people are called, Aussie.

The common food eaten in Australia is vegemite. I tried that didn’t like the taste of it. Not my kind of spread you put on your bread.


TimTam (chocolate biscuit) – My son told me he has a friend from Australia.  Use tim tam use as a straw and suck the drink through the biscuit to add flavor on their coffee or hot chocolate.
Eating alone is already sweet for me.


Meat Pies – Stuffed minced meat, gravy, mushroom, onion and cheese. You can purchase it in the bakery and supermarket. It can also be store in the freezer and warm later when you would like to eat it.

Fish and Chips – They give you a big serving of fries on one order is enough for everyone. Don’t be mistaken fries for those means chips and the ketchup are extra charge.

I remember when I had visited in Melbourne two years ago my Uncle wanted more ketchup they had charge me for it came in a small ketchup bottle.

You can try kangaroo meat never wanted to try something exotic.

Snacks my family loves the most is Arnots Shapes Baked Not Fried crackers comes in flavor pizza, cheese and bacon, honey barbecue and barbecue.


The chips I always look into which they don’t have in the Philippines is Kettle Chips Barbecue flavor.

My niece they love using Lucas Papaw Ointment and I started using it too great for your lips.
